halloween treats

we had sooo much fun this halloween, as we were able to celebrate with family and our dear friends from st. louis! coleman had fun scaring everyone in sight, with his mummy costume, while hampton was ready to break out in cheer (both good & bad) all night long! uncle rich, aunt ney-ney & baby sallie grace the ghost spent the evening with us, along with papa & me-ma, and uncle t, aunt ju-ju & evie doodle poodle! the behlmann kiddos, donned their fav costumes, including emily as the football player, brett and his co-hort austin, as crazy clowns, abby as a friendly candy corn witch, and hannah, as gabriella from high school musical. halloween is such a treat, in that the holiday allows each child to transform into exactly what they wish (even a crazy clown with a mask)! can't wait to see what next year holds. as always, the costume selections began early, but were altered many times before the final decisions were made (that is, except austin's...which was honestly decided as he walked out the door)! happy halloween friends...both spooky and cute!

bowling buddies

 

we enjoyed the annual visit from our friends, the behlmann family over the weekend! as always, the kids picked up right where they left off, and had an absolute blast! for the second year in a row, we have been able to celebrate halloween together as well! what fun! on friday, we took four of the seven kiddos bowling (the tradition). hampton held the top score spot until the last game of three, when coleman came from behind to clench the title! drama, drama, drama. all in all, they had fun bowling, eating pizza and french fries, while the moms chit-chatted. it was a win-win all around!
